C. 1840s, this one--which took me a few minutes to figure out--depicts southeast Pennsylvania, with each colored shape I believe representing a township or county, with Montgomery county noted to northeast, Delaware county to the Southeast (just east of Philadelphia) and Teddyfrin township to the south--and so I believe that would mean it is Berks county at center, though I believe the borders and some county names have changed since the 1840s!  A lovely and unusual one for someone from the neck of the woods depicted--or for someone (like me) happy to imagine all of the great folk art being created across this terrain when this map was made! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 3\/4\" x 7 9\/16\". Good antique condition; the color seems to have been made with some combination of watercolor and stain\/varnish. On laid, with some light rippling to the paper. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67973790466296,"sku":"vwe1793820769835","price":35.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/6780\/5688\/files\/ellie-ackers-c-1840s-map-of-southeast-pennsylvania_1.png?v=1793820779","url":"https:\/\/indigocatselfgroomer.shop\/products\/ellie-ackers-c-1840s-map-of-southeast-pennsylvania","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
